How to play

  1. Click the green flag to start.
  2. Drag triangles into your working area.
  3. Fit their edges together to make a pattern without gaps.

Three original sets are available below. For more room, open a set on Scratch and use full screen. Some colour controls and the full-screen hint remain in Japanese.

For families and teachers

Compare how two triangles can make a larger shape. Ask children to explain which edges meet and how their tiling repeats.

This English guide uses the original Chicodori Scratch project. Some labels remain in Japanese. You can explore and remix the project on Scratch.
